So no more predicting the weather with sensors?


Which of the criteria of the risk levels that will be regulated which are listed in the article do you think would include weather predictions?


something like a long-term weather forecast could lead to declining to issue an insurance policy for someone's home or automobile in an area. it could significantly impact the price. make it publicly available, and an insurance company could use that prediction. clearly an unacceptable risk


Do you use biometric data to predict the weather?


I trained a CV model to tell me the temp when I stand in front of the mirror based on if my nipples are hard or not, and how hard or soft they are.


Ah, it detects if it’s a bit nippy? ;)


I like your thinking B)


if you set up your thermostat to respond to the output from your model you could get it to turn up the temperature by pinching your nipples


Too bad the EU will never experience such innovation


That's fucking brilliant!


I have a project which uses weather info to predict avalanche risk. Reading the articles its hard for me to understand whether this would apply or not but my feeling is it might (If I ever need to run this in the EU I would talk to a lawyer). https://openavalancheproject.org


As it should; people would use it to make life-or-death decisions, so that application is high-risk.

We already have ways to predict avalanche risk that are well understood and explainable. There should be a high threshold on replacing that.
